is this same terminology saying that donald trump is. not trustworthy and calling him unpredictable is there any chance of bilateral talks even beginning to get off the ground from here or is there just no going back i don't think that there is any chance of talks between iran and the united states until the united states backed trucks in one form or another the united states had an agreement with iran countries like russia china britain france germany as well as you were all part of the negotiation these negotiations for many years and they were finally signed americans agreed to and it just simply cannot tear apart of an agreement that's all these countries have invested so much in and therefore when speaks about negotiating with the iranians the iranians say well first go back and show that you are committed to

a peaceful solution show that you are prepared to abide by american commitments and then we can start thinking about the notion of negotiations the turkish presence not mincing his words either accusing the u.s. or breach of trust against a nato ally let's have a quick listen to what everyone had to say you sure are you should you work to one side as a strategic partner but on the other you five bullets into the foot of your strategic partner together in nature and then you seek to stab your strategic partner in the back. so there is saying stabbing us in the back what do you make of these two countries that are supposed to be strong military allies behaving like this towards each other. well this i think also reinforces the notion in tehran that negotiating with the united states is useless if the united states treated tone allies treats

a nato partner were as the nero was declining the us president went and imposed news tariffs on the country in order to create a run on the currency market he was trying to make a punish turkey when trump behaves like that sword for us turkey then obviously iranian leaders say that. talking to trump is useless but what i do believe come we can learn from this is that nations across nations across the region across the world have to move away from the u.s. dollar they have to start trading in their own currencies or alternative currency and the longest trump is in power i think that even ordinary people should refrain from purchasing u.s. goods from traveling to the united states everyone in his own way has to punish trump because trump is behaving like a like a mafia cheese bill and trump has been imposing tariffs and sanctions country after

country friend or foe what do you think is there any rationale behind wining everyone up abroad with the sort of measures. well i think from there a couple of things and one is of course that trump is looking at his election that are coming up and he wants his. his people and his his base as they're called to say faithful to him and to to reelect him so i think his primary objective is getting is winning the upcoming elections that we have in november but in addition to that i think that trump as a businessman what he does is that he tries imposing extreme pressure on different countries and then. through that pressure gains concessions but one thing that is happening is that he's doing this simultaneously. and behaving

like this towards so many countries even allies even when the saudis treat canada. abusive way trumps affectively was unwilling to side with canada so when the united states is in treating even the european union canada and other such countries in such a way then i think that creates a global consensus that the united states has a problem and people gradually start thinking more seriously about real solutions so i think that while transfer may not be an unintelligent person and perhaps he may be a successful business person but i think as the president of the united states he is doing enormous damage to his country alongside causing damage to the rest of the world but i think he's diminishing the power especially the soft power of the united states well i'll be watching to see where the chips fall said mohammad marandi professor of politics at tehran university thank you for your time and your

comments today. thank you. donald trump has turned on a former aide on twitter after she revealed a tape which she claims is a recording of her being sacked omarosa manigault newman also accused the president of having no clue about what was going on in the white house trumbo says she was just a bad employee she begged me for a job tears in her eyes i said ok people in the white house hated her she was vicious but not smart i would really see are but her really bad things nasty to people who would constantly miss meetings and work when gen kelley came on board he told me she was a loser nothing but problems i told him to try working it out of possible because she only said great things about me until she got fired. america joins me live from the u.s. capitol from what started all of this well trump's former aide omarosa newman who gained fame on trump's reality show the apprentice has now landed up in controversy

with her ex boss of a rose oh man i got a new image all rose. recording reality star turned white house aide is she a whistleblower or is she a fame junkie. newman was fired towards the end of twenty seventeen and then she began writing a memoir about her time working in the trump white house which is set to release this tuesday now in her book she called her former boss a racist a bigot and a massage missed and then she had a lot of things to say about the administration as well check it out does a white house where everybody lies the president lies to the american people sarah huckabee stands in front of the country analyze every single day you have to have your own that because there was a look back and you'll see seventy five that is your bag. according to trump however she begged him for the job but newman is telling quite a different story as she does the rounds on mainstream media sharing private white

house recordings with the entire country in one of them trump a surprise that she's been fired but she claims he's not the one pulling the strings the second audiotape is a recording of her getting fired in the situation room let's take a quick look but we asked you a couple questions that the president is putting the where don't do this not go down the road this is a moment ago she will discussion but many are now trying to figure out how she recorded her firing at what's supposed to be the most secure room and all of the white house.

and this believe it or not even has a former staffer scratching their heads. i've never heard of a more serious breach of protocol not only is it not typical something like this is unprecedented no proper employee of the white house brings funds into deceit to ration room it's totally privet it to someone who spent a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to wrap my head around how insane this is if carried for example a cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations there but so potentially has any country or criminal organization that thought to

hack a phone. it's no wonder the media always cites leaks and anonymous sources at least now we can check off one. artist's america thanks for bringing us that update . a suicide bomber has detonated explosives at the office of the electoral commission in the afghan capital people have gathered there to protest the disqualification of multiple candidates running in parliamentary elections local journalists not on phasey reports from kabul. some of the supporters of those candidates who were disqualified from to run for the parliamentarian elections they were they were gathering in a nearby the independent election commission headquarters a suicide bomber according to police tried to approach the gathering but detonated his explosive ahead of approaching the gathering and they killed himself and one

other from from this who were nearby also killed two others wounded but this you know the protests against. or elect independent electoral commission all the presidential palace actually has been taking place since a week almost yesterday we had another protest and a gathering that some m.p.'s who are accused of being and. having every sponsible man process in. the same way and they were accusing the government of. the process and they were angry actually at this process has been continuing today we had another one in a different place so we are expecting that it will it will actually take. take place more of these kind of events because it's the first afghan election history.

meanwhile the city of new which is about one hundred fifty kilometers southwest of the capital is facing some of the fiercest clashes between taliban and afghan forces official reports say hundreds have been killed on both sides so it's an facing again has more details on the newest taliban threat facing the afghan government. the minister of interior said. it confirmed the death of seventy security forces in battlefield two with the taleban in gaza need that has been taking place since four days but also i have. heard from some local sources in gaza need that taliban actually or now with the rolling from those locations that have been committing. attacks against. various government is solutions since for days the situation is actually really harsh and the hospital is full of

dead bodies and wounded and i have seen fresh footage from gaza that is telling lots of stories inside the city people are really scared the highways have been blocked since for days to come you creation has been down and people cannot communicate with their relatives or we even cannot talk to the more our local officials or residents in gaza it has been a very harsh time for gaza it has been like a waltz to city but the government is now saying that they are trying to expel the taliban and they are trying to secure a decision but we will see what will happen next recent studies say that taliban forces control or have influence in more than forty percent of afghan territory middle east expert al a risk says america's campaign there has not only failed but has actually boosted extremism. so called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh

attacks and shows us that this war has turned out to be an utter failure taliban was in a stronger position than it ever was ever since it was ousted from power but i don't think the us can do anything if it continues with its own focus just on military attacks you know militarily speaking it hasn't succeeded so i don't think there is much that the us can do in that regard that i think it's proof that the us has been pursuing a wrong strategy in defeating terrorism on the contrary i think that the us involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has led to the growth of terrorism and sort of leading to the altar the curbing of terrorism i think that is clear from what we see in afghanistan. backing contest in the us has revealed that it doesn't take a top notch russian computer expert to get into america's election infrastructure

it turns out an eleven year old can do it trying to reports. to learn more about the twenty hacking contest that's what the link says and yes it's from a real website and the contest surreal to it's for kids and it's not being held in russia what this is america anyway meet the winner eleven year old audrey they need . to be me we can cause in the our own name if we want to make a living we won the election and it just took her ten minutes to hack a replica of an election office website in one of the battleground states. these are members of congress they work hard to approve budget grants to sort out election cyber security the one for twenty was three hundred eighty million bucks these are child hackers i mean contestants they tap their keyboards to prove that

within minutes america's election systems are a piece of garbage thirty five out of the thirty nine youngsters taking part this year were able to do just that so how come there haven't been any warnings for a grown up specialists well actually there have always been the writing machine is no different states and it's extremely easy to get into the since it's mostly so let me show you how quick it is that's a little under two minutes. you don't need any totals to do that. and now i have. full advantage it looks like you don't have to turn pro to be a meddling master and outsmart security efforts worth hundreds of millions of dollars don't bother guessing hole be the ones to take advantage come november we've already been told many times there's no doubt russian hackers ahead of the

midterm they know it was arrogant and security of. the russians are targeting members of congress the us. midterm elections are just around the corner and russia's attack continues to haunt the united states russian election interference in the twenty thousand midterms the russians have not reduced their hacking it's even the first thing the prodigy's at the conference will tell you that there was a poll which could also be a great excuse when someone asks the suits why the systems vulnerable to say the least by the way when the good will hackers look back at their previous conference they wrote if russia can attack our election so can others iran north korea isis or even criminal or extrude groups because let's face it if hacking an american election is child's play perhaps it's time the guys in charge did their homework on where the real threats are that's our breakdown of the day's top stories for now

but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all of those stories and mark. kaiser's financial survival. when customers go by to reduce the flying. well reduce some lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy.

i'm after tense here we're going underground as workers in britain's unite union take strike action on oil and gas platforms in the north sea coming up in the show . will deliver and was trump right to withdraw from the paris climate deal just not for the reasons trump gave the world we'd best to get whether the deal was always too little too late and there's a bullet breaks out once again in one of the world's most resource rich countries we speak to the director of this is congo about

a history of cia backed coups corruption and colonialism plus there's a new report from the british crown prosecution service finds that charges but modern slavery offenses of risen by more than a quarter in the last year we speak to the bishop of darby dr alice to read first who leads initiatives to fight human trafficking all the more coming up in today's going underground but first while major nation mainstream media continue to pump out empty my dura rhetoric against the country with the largest known reserves of oil in. world venezuela workers from britain's biggest trade union to be in charge will to take action in the north sea against the company this man leads you can look you purported things out of order and yes the pumping of seventy thousand barrels of oil a day has been threatening to the north seas alwynne dunbar an elegant platform as part of a dispute about pay this while fertile as eclipse b.p. and chevron in net profits for the third consecutive quarter but as fossil fuel companies fight workers well continued to prosper and exert influence over democratically elected politicians like they've always done in the national debate

over climate change is now itself arguably changed he is the leader of the so-called free world so gonna suck at about for all of this with the global warming and that it a lot of it's a hoax it's a hoax i mean it's a money making industry ok it's a hoax the president has tweeted climate change skepticism at least one hundred fifteen times including a claim that the concept of global warming was created by and for the chinese in fairness to the us president he then denied i do not say that and i think i do know that he denied that before pulling out of the paris climate change accords and this is how russian president vladimir putin reacted to trump's withdrawal of the paris treaties a very proper good document which is aimed at rizzoli one of the global problems of the current times in order to determine the climatic changes now the issue is whether we are in a position to. not allow climate change in there backing the paris climate deal while appearing to express some doubts about its effectiveness well joining me now

via skype from love's island in maine is professor katherine richardson co-author of trajectories of the earth system in the other seen published in the proceedings of the u.s. national academy of sciences in the past few days professor richardson thanks so much for coming on the program just explain risks that would still exist even if the world abided by the paris agreement on a two degree centigrade rise in temperature. well what we did is we sort of said well listen it's nice that politicians have decided that the earth will be two degrees warmer than it was in the pre-industrial and sort of assume that it'll just stay at that temperature who's a back at the earth's history and it turns out it's never had a stable period of long a long period where the temperature was stable at about two degrees above pre-industrial so what that told us is that there may be other processes in the earth's system that when you get to be two degrees warmer could keep pushing the temperature up until you got around four to five degrees as has happened in the past so we started searching for those processes and we didn't identify anything

new all of these processes have been identified before but we looked at was the interactions between these processes we're talking processes like the melting of ice the melting of permafrost the changing biological conditions in the ocean the changing chemistry of the ocean and then we're talking tipping points as well the melting of the greenland sea ice the the or the arctic sea ice and the greenland ice sheet the changing of the gulf stream all those sorts of tipping points that we've talked about and we look at how they might be related to each other the interactions between all of these different processes and it really looks like you might be able to set up a a sort of a cascade that's what happens in the in the earth system where it's where it's almost like a row of dominoes as children we put we put dominoes up on there and we push the first one and down they all went and it's like one of these processes could get to

the point it pushes the next one in the next one and the next one and once you get into a chain reaction like that it's just just like a nuclear reaction you can't stop it under way so the really important thing for humanity is to make sure we don't get to a point where those that chain reaction could could actually be started and two degrees wouldn't be the tipping point you suggest from looking. at the history of the earth it looks like it's it might be somewhere around two degrees so two degrees might be fine but even better if we could if we could actually achieve the goals of the paris agreement which is that we hold human caused climate or global warming to well below two degrees so we're not saying anything against the paris agreement quite the contrary i think the paris agreement is is incredibly exciting because it represents a a first attempt to try and manage our resources at the at the global level and and

our ancestors i guess when they stopped hunting for their food and started living at a at a fixed address at first that let their ways just fall and they took whatever they thought they needed and then they realized for their own sakes they needed to manage their relationship with nature at the local level now we can see we're impacting the earth at the global level so for our own sakes we need to manage our relationship with the planet as a whole. you seem to be avoiding political cooperation they're not so much. looking particularly every ventral extrapolation really because it was in this paper when the dominoes for we're doing a forty five degree rise in temperature with sea levels reacting between ten to sixty meters. now that's that's that would be the situation if this chain reaction got started then we believe we would end in a situation where the earth was what we call hot house earth which is four to five degrees warmer and that would not only mean ten to sixty meters of sea level rise

it would also mean heat waves like you can't imagine areas of the of the earth where humans would be unable to live and certainly very much changed and reduced area where we could produce food massive storms wildfires people moving away from regions where they they can't produce food or can't survive the ten. which are so potential political conflicts it would also the the animals and the plants that we know today many of them would go extinct so it would be an entirely entirely different world than the one we know if we did actually go to a hot house and and just to be clear this is not like these things you hear on mainstream media a lot of a dime analysis of data as in say the nineteenth century you really are really looking at ice sheets and and the data that going on there in light of what we're trying to do is understand the earth as a system as a complex system and analyze its behavior as

a complex system and when i talk about a system if you think about your body if you had your head in your study it you know everything about your head or your hands or your feet or your heart or your brain you still can't predict the emergent properties when you put them all together in other things than in other other words the new things that are going to happen if you put it all together like we can walk and talk and all that sort of stuff and it's a little bit the same with that with the earth we've understood all these different processes on their own but what happens when you put them together in a system of context and look how they affect each other i know professor hands schellnhuber is a co or for i mean one thing we do know definitely is there's going to be another ice age but no sign i know he's done work on it no sign that the an imminent ice age could save us from this even from the tipping point of the first moment of well actually to be perfectly honest there are some signs that we may have some some

scientific reports and there's not consensus on this all the way around but there are scientific reports suggesting that we have just a bird hit the next ice age that because we have warmed the planet as much as we have already the world was cooling now it's warming age so i think it's probably a little optimistic to sit back and wait for an ice age to solve this problem for a. i think we're going to have to take the bull by the horns as well as an all those different dominoes there's an argument in the paper for improved forest agricultural and soil management when when it comes to management you say you are dealing with something clearly political in terms of the solution it's not something that can be put together easily with a big fossil fuel lobby advising some politicians no i mean you're right and it's very difficult as scientists and we don't try and tell the politicians or society what it should do what we try to do here is to is to argue that we need

to we need to think of our role in the system as a whole and manage our feedbacks within the system and then we try to identify a kind of tool box that that society politicians who ever has at their disposal in order to be able to do this management there are lots and lots of different activities that we could have changing our behavior changing our diets there's many things that are possible as tools here and there's no one single bullet technology is not going to save us here it's going to help us but it's not going to save us so politicians society whomever is going to have to have to choose a bouquet of these tools in order to be able to contribute to this management of our resources at the global level and that we at rioters don't say what they should do but it just finally then on that we think of the ethical lipstick elements of the paper and in terms of

a lot of domino going can you think of another time now especially the climate change skeptics seem to gain be to the fore arguably because of trampling out of the deal can you think of a time when the elites would seek to profit at the expense of their great grandchildren in terms of profits today because obviously they're big forces against the kind of science you're doing in this paper. well to prefer to be honest i don't think there are as many big forces as as as media makes it look like i mean there beget the opposition and there will always be folk that don't understand and people that don't want to believe this we have people that believe that you know the there's going to a crisis coming the world's going to end next week and you know there are all the fortunately there are people with all sorts of beliefs i i don't think we should be stopping putting you know stopping people getting being able to say what they think but they get an awful lot of focus on this pushback and i don't in my everyday life

i don't meet it as being as great as as you're making it out to be here i honestly sees a very positive movement going in the right direction look at the paris agreement look at the un sustainable development goals look at the way companies are taking these these issues on board large major multinational companies so you know i i really believe this is a a train that is running it's not going fast enough yet we have our backs against the wall on a knife that are of throats but but i work best under pressure i think most people do and i'm i'm i'm i'm hoping i'm believing i do believe that humanity does as well reza government is a vague here after the break but again this is america we speak to the director of this is congo about the years of western backed shadow wars that have torn the

country apart.
